Outlook Modification Resolution Errors when using Microsoft Office 365

Posted under MS Outlook, Office 365

Having recently migrated to office 365, I noticed a lot of resolution messages appearing in my Unread Mail folder in Outlook. These are actually harmless and generally by design.

To red rid of these messages please follow the steps below.

1. Right click Unread Mail folder in Outlook, and select Customize This Search Folder.


2. Click Browse, and then clear the mailbox (the top level) box.


 

3. Select the folder that needs to appear in Unread Mail folder.

4. Click OK to save the settings.

After that, these sync issues messages won’t appear in Unread Mail folder.

I hope you too have Found a Fix!

Word, Excel, Outlook mouse pointer constantly busy – Office 2007

Posted under MS Office, MS Outlook, Software

The other day I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;

When using any MS Office application I would find that the mouse pointer was constantly busy and the pc would come  to a crawl.

The fix for me was to;

1. Stop the print spooler service. (Start, Run, Services.msc). At this point you’ll notice the mouse issue is gone.

2. Either delete and reinstall the printer (or the offending one). Or reinstall the correct driver. If you have multiple printers, you can find the bad one by changing the default printer to another one and restarting the printer spooler service. Repeat the steps until the issue reoccurs. Once the bad printer has been removed, your office applications should return to normal.

I hope you too have found a fix!
